Thanks for that wind correction. Carla was huge in size....I didn't think the winds were as high as Scuba Mom said...but the picture said a lot. Carla did lots of destruction...my grandparents lived in that area and couldn't return for weeks and weeks.
People arount here still talk about Carla as the Big One.
I was only about 6 or 7 during Carla. My dad was out of town and my mom didn't want to leave. We were in the country in Alvin and when we left I remember it was dark and water coming under the car doors. We had the dog and my mom left a window cracked for tornados. Killed my bird.
